Am I the Dream or the Dreamer?

Dreams, so many dreams

Some forgotten, some waiting to happen

am I one of those dreams?

forgotten after the morning alarm

or waiting to come knocking?

forgotten, or waiting to happen

am I a forgotten dream,

or are you waiting for me too?

dreams, so many dreams

overflowing with them

will I reach them,

or will I have to forget them?

each day, an ache that never ends

but when —

when will it be enough?

time.

time is cruel for a dreamer.

and what am I

if not a dreamer?

a dream

or a dreamer

I guess I’ll know someday,

but not today.

time, time is cruel for a dreamer

sometimes too slow

sometimes too fast

a never-ending agony

dreams,

so many dreams

some forgotten...

just like me

and yet —

I keep dreaming.
